Just as no man by taking thought can add an inch to his stature, so no preparation can make hair. The utmost that can be done is to pro- mote conditions favorable to growth. This is done by Ayer's Hair Vigor. It re- moves dandruff, cleanses the scalp, nourishes the soil in which the hair grows, and, just as a desert will blossom under rain, so bald heads grow hair, when the roots are nour- ished.

A despatch from Niagara Falls, Ont., says:—,'three men in a green colored boat, marked No. 8, lost their lives on Sunday afternoon in attempting to cross the river above the .Galls, about 5 o'olock. Several people in the upper. or south, end of Cedar Island, about a mile above the Horse-shoe Falls, notic- ed three men struggling for dear life to pull towards the Canadian shore, but swiftly and surely the strong cur- rent gradually swept them towarda the cascades above the Fails. When they were first noticed they were about 200 yards from shore, and looked as though they might possibly best the strong current. Two of them faced each other, pulling on the same oars, while the third had apiece of an oar and seemed to be making good use of it in the stern of the boat. But the all-powerful current mastered the trio, and they were wept over the first cas- cade, their frail boat completely up- ended, spilling the unfortunate men in- to the rushing current, and their boat soon came to the surface with tbe end atove The three men disappeared in the rapids, but in a few moments were again seen struggling in the water at- tempting to swim, but were SWEPT OVER THE FALLS, like chips of wood in a few minutes. Their obat came ashore a few yards above the Falls, where it was secured. Several people witnessed the strug- gling men, but were unable to render them any assistance. The three men that went aver the falls were strangers who were eamP- ing out near La Salle, N.Y., and lead the boat No. 8 hired by the week from the La Salle boat -house. The boat carried a sail, and was being used as such this afternoon. It is supposed the men, who were strangers, lost control. of the boat, there being a stiff north- west wind blowing this afternoon, and fooled the men in their meagre idea of the lay of the river and cascades. Con- ductor Nelles, of the Niagara Falls Park and River railway, noticed the boat in full sail in the river on his trip to Chippewa, about three-quarters of an hour before the accident. On his return trip he reached the scene in time to see the boat capsize, and the men's struggles in tbe river. Mr. Lauzau, of Chi ipawa, an old Justice Stephen J.

ShowingAcreage tinier Crop and Yield ,Lutteipated or Various Cereals and Fruit. The following ,is the statement • of acreage of crops in Ontario for 1897, prepared by the Ontario Department of Agriculture, and the estimates of yields based on the. reports' of the regular correspondents of the de- partment, under date of August 91b. It will be seen from the tables that the yields of the present year on the whole promise to exceed those of 1896, and also to exceed the average of the fifteen years, 1882-1896. The amount of fall wheat ploughed up this year was 55,000 aores; on 30,000 less than ir► 1896, 'L'hree-fourths of the ploughed -up area was east of Toron- to, With an increased area of 73,000 acres, the promise at present is nearly ten million bushels greater than was reported a. year ago. The high average of 25.5 bushels Per aore is estimated. Over 80 per cent. of the fall wheat is grown west and north-west of Toronto, and the reports of conditions are in the main very favorable. The comment, "Beat crops for many years," is quite common. There is some complaints of too much rain at barvest time; but on the whole the crop was harvested in good condition. The fall wheat, there- fore, shows, as compared with August, 1896, an increased acreage, an inereas- ed yield per acre, and an increased value per illushel in the market. Spring wheat has taken a move up again, both in acreage and promised yield. The acreage and yield of barley are both somewhat below the previous year. For several years the area sown to eats has been increasing. Over 7,000 acres are again added this year, and the yield promised is 11,000,000 bushels greater than the enormous yield o£ 1896. in; round figures the crop is estimated at 87,000,000 bushels, against an average of 63,000,000 for the years 188:2x96. The' yield of rye and beaus are above the? average. As nearly two and a ball million acres are given lover to hay, the value of this crop generally exceeds, the value of any' single grain crop. 'rhe average yields for six years have been as follows :-0.94 ton tier acre in 1891; 1.74 tons in 1892 ; 1,79 in 1893; 1.39 in 1894; 0.73 in 1895 and 0.93 in 1896. There were three poor years, and three good years. The aver- age of the fifteen years, 1882.96, was 1.35 ' tons. was 1.b3 �i id t, the e tons, This year y Though in some eastern sections the yield was 1 ight, on the whole the hay crop of Ontario has been heavy, and quite a bit above the avers te, the total being 3 811,519 tons, as against 2,2..60,240 tons in 1896. The acreage of corm has been inereas ing year by year as follows: -181,463 acres in 189'2 ; 217,291 acres in 1893; 267 348 in 1894; 30'3,9.29 in 1895; 496.629 ashore, Ile made in 1896.
